Thanks for the pic and info, BILLZACH. The Buffalo Solders were, as we used to say in the Corps: "Doing the unecessary by the unwilling for the ungrateful" - although a lot of their heroic deeds proved that they weren't just willing but certainly able as well.

Looks like more of a photoshop job than an actual carved nickel.
